Well, yes... In short, the best is to stick on 4.1... I had some ideas which I planned to implement in 4.x release.... For example, I planned to rewrite all simple instructions such as add, sub, etc... Also, I implemented a pseudo jumps in assembler (see comments in binutils/gas/config/tc-msp430.c) in order to make all jumps more elegant. Also, profiling capability is implemented to the assembler. The profiling code should be added to compiler as well. + some minor improvements. So, just start it if you're interested... Cheers, ~d
